French internationals don't go to teams like Crystal Palace unless there are massive wages involved. Newcastle may not be great anymore but we are a known club throughout Europe, Crystal Palace are a small club that pay average wages
He needs to play first team football to play in the biggest tournament his country has played in for nearly 20 years. He knows Pardew. He won't give a f*** about Palace and if he plays like he did again for us there, he'll probably be close to the starting eleven again and pick up a move to a better club after the Euros. I could see his reasons for going.
By that time he'll be 30, 6 months off 31. Go to Palace now and that'll be it for him. Probably leave a legend cause they've never had a player like that before
